Something "made fast" is perfectly reasonable usage for tying it in place.

Yep. And something "made fast" is also perfectly reasonable usage for vastly upgrading its speed. "Fast" can absolutely be a contronym.

I think two-word contranyms are more concrete, like "fight together".

Oversight is a less ambiguous example of a single-word contranym.
